I enjoy Abhi sir's writing and that was the main reason behind starting this thread. I don't know about Ignatieff and and so can't say whther Prof. Abhi has used his statement in its intended meaning or not, but, for sure, the empire is indifferent. Is there any reason or logic in Abhi sir being denied visa? Is he a probable terrorist? Is it possible that he will overstay and work illegally? These Americans, despite their large noise, are indifferent and act in whim. If Abhi sir is not eligible for visa, then who is eligible? For those who say "sour grapes" etc., please read the article well. he is not crying, but just wondring the reason for denial. If you were denied visa, you would go to a BHATTI and gulp some LOCAL. He, at least, gave us a nice article to read. Following your postings in Sajha karmarana, anybody can say you are insane.
